Description
To build a future, sometimes you have to tear down the past…
Chicago event planner Libby Hamilton can turn any bland setting into a dramatic venue—but when she abruptly loses her job, and her fair-weather boyfriend moves to another state, Libby suddenly finds herself back in the tiny town she grew up in. Worse than that, her father wants help transforming an old schoolhouse into a vintage ice cream parlor and Libby must trade in her power suits for power tools.
Widowed restoration specialist Tom Murphy can rebuild just about anything—except the shattered relationship he shares with his teenaged daughter. Hired by Libby’s father, Tom isn’t interested in sharing the details of his personal life with beautiful, spunky Libby. He just wants to get the job done. But she is tenacious—and sexy—and it doesn’t take long before she breaks down his walls, builds up his hope, and gets a hold on his heart that won’t let go.

Advance Praise
Brogan's sophomore contemporary (after Crazy Little Thing)
successfully blends a sassy heroine and humor with deep emotional
issues and a traditional romance. Suddenly jobless with her relationship
on the rocks, event planner Libby Hamilton moves back to her small
hometown to live with her happy, chaotic family. Perfect older sister
Ginny is married and pregnant, wild younger sister Marti is engaged, and
Dad is turning a historic one-room schoolhouse into an ice-cream
parlor—using Libby's savings. Working with her father, Libby meets Tom
Murphy, a restoration specialist. On the darker side of the story, Tom
is mourning the death of his wife, killed in a car accident a year ago
in which he was behind the wheel. Unable to move on, Tom struggles to
maintain relationships with his teen daughter and his wife's parents.
The contrast between Tom's genuine pain and the lighthearted conflicts
in Libby's family can feel odd, but the well-developed characters and
the sweet story with just a touch of heat will please readers looking
for a creative take on romance. - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
